A Pneumatic Tube to Europe.
krOm The HartfOrd COMrnnt

FFQW me HGrJOrd COuFG1lt.
Col. j. H. Pierce, of Saithington, who has
been studying the use of pneumatic tubes,
has reached a point at which he hopes to
show that a tube across the'Atlantic can be
used. Following is a description of the APP
paratus as he conceives it: The tubes will
always be in couples, with the currents Of
air in one tube always moving in an opposite
direction from the other. The heaviest can
non will serve to Illustrate the tube. A car
takes the place of the charge, the tube to
be indefinitely continuous and the speed of
the car to be governed by the rapidity with
which air can be forced through. Time is
required to establish a current of air flowing
with great swiftneSs through tube perhaps
thousands of miles i'll length, but when once
created the motion will be nearly uniform
The speed of the current may be made as
great as may be desired by using the steam
Niagara Falls could drive blast fans and
furnish motive power to keep i'll motion the
trains to connect this continent with the old
world The temperature within tie tube
may be regulated by passing blasts of air
entering the tube through furnaces or over
ice. The speed attainable may reach 900
miles an hour. The tube lining And car ex-
terror would be of polished steel with cor
rugated sides matching with wheels pro-
Vided with anti-triction bearings The speed
owing to the curvature of the earth'S sur
face, viii tend to overcome all weight and
the pressure will be upon the upper part of
the tube; thus there is scarcely any limit to
the speed attainabe. The inventions con-
siSt in tie details of the work.

TARPON TOPICS.
Items From the Gulf Coast Metropolis
Railway Progress.


TARPoN SPRINGS, FLA, July 20.-Indica-
lions all point to good crop this year, and
our growers are jubilant over the prospect.
The TaIpon season is now about over, and
the catch has been unusually go0G. LIZ. j.
G.. Boyer, our brag fisherman, has caught a
number of very large Ones all averaging
about $50 pounds. The largest catch OF the
season was made by him about two weeks
ago the FISH turning the scales at exactly
1917 pounds.
We are TO have an artesian well III the
near future. Work is now going on, and
drilling has been done to depth OF 300 feet.
1t is the intention to keep on until good
flow of water is obtained, when a system of
water works will be established throughout
the city.
The great attraction for our young men
at present is a camp near the mouth of the
AnclOte river. Several ladies, under proper
chaperonage, have undertaken to rough it
for awhile, and do away entirely with the
services of the other sex, and have gone
into camp They cut their wood, carry
water, catch fish, etc, and are thoroughly
Independent in every way. 1t is even
rumored that they had a coon hunt one
night, and that three victims was the re
suit of the expedition.
The lighthouse now building on Anclote
Key is being carried rapidly upward, and
will be finished in the early fall.
The Orange Belt railway Is rapidly APP
preaching us, and rails will be laid into
Tarpon early in October. Track is now be
ing laid close into Macon, and grading
between there and here is going on rapidly.
Quarantine is still maintained at our port,

volcano in active operation. Back a mile
or more on the tableand, where we camped,
we got splendid view of a short but vlo-
lent eruption, and the vivid column OF flame
that rose to the top and broke in succession.
lti lasted about fifteen minutes and was I'M
accompanied by any seismic disturbance or
by lava.
''As the object of our trip was accom-
plished when we assured ourselves that the
volcano really existed we Immediately set
out on our homeward trip. At Bavlspe we
met a man named Schultz and Alvarez,
Mexican, both of whom had been at Bacarac
during our previous visit, and here think
we learned of a most wonderful phenomena
They told us that a certain range of mount
aims to the NOrthward which they pointed
out was before the earthquake wholly htd
den by the lower range, several miles
nearer the village, and that during the
vibrations and emotions the two see
sawed as it were, so that the farthest
rauge was first visible and then hidden. But
now it was plainly left high above the first
range and could be sighted at all times
The people, no wonder, thought the earth
was going to Overwhelm them. Alvarez
fixes the mortality in Bavispe at thirty
eight, exclusive of those buried in the ruins
Several women died of symptoms similar to
seasicmesS. Old springs dried up and new
ones appeared apd geysers spurted forth, the
water being boiling hot.
THE altitude must be between $500 and
1000 feet above the sea. The range where
the volcano exists may be said to be distinct
OF Itself and it tlwindleS into mere foothills
fifty or sixty miles south. 1t is not a part
Of the Continental Divide.
1.-The true range lies 200 miles to the east
ward. Bavispe is no doubt the centre of
the recent disturbance, and the shock and
havoc of it will no doubt be found to de-
crease from that point At the Carralitas
ranch, from which place we started, water
is now plentiful. | should not omit to say
that we crossed the Yaqui river, whose
course almost defines the boundary between
chihuahua and Sonora. 1t is a sluggish
stream, and we were told totally disap-
peared near the Onago coal fields-not in
the quicksand, but through a rift while
ninety miles below it showed signs of a
previous subterranean journey in its course.
The government exploring party sent out
by the State of chihuahua ought to obtain
very accurate information. as it took along
all instruments for scientific investigation,
but it is doubtful if it can approach the
volcano from the south. 1t should be back
in a week or ten days"

In the House.

In the House to-day Mr.. Black, of Gordon,
offered a resolution calling on the commit
tee to investigate the charges against
MeSsrs Rankin and Fain to report. He
represented the county i'll which both re-
side. His people were greatly interested in
the report, and it is due Messrs. Fain and
Rankin that it should be made.
Mr.. McLendon, of the committee, ex-
planned the causes of the delay, and said
there would be a full report as early as
possible. The resolution was tabled.
The unfinished business was the wine room
bill Quite number of amendments were
offered, but all were voted down except a
section providing that the tax be collected
like other taxes under the local option law
and as in the case of defaulting tax payers,
and a section providing penalty was also
added. Several members spoke on the
amendments offered, but steady call for
the previous question shut off many. The
bill passed by vote of % to 60. The result
was loudly applauded, especially by
the ladies in the crowded gal
ery 1t is not doubted that
the bill will pass the Senate. The bill i'm
poses tax of $4,000 on persons dealing in
domestic wines to the exclusion of foreign
wines, alcoholic and malt liquors, but ex-
empting dealers in domestic wines made
from grapes and berries grown ON land
they own, rent or lease, the tax to be col
lected like other special taxes, and the pen
atty being provided in section 1910 of the
Code
